Baked Falafel Patties

Falafel is a beloved dish originally from the Middle East, made with spiced mashed chickpeas formed into balls or fritters and often deep-fried.

This baked falafel recipe is a favorite I developed as an alternative to the greasy, dry falafels you find from street vendors. Falafel should be healthy, flavorful, moist and crispy. So I came up with these after playing around with some variations.

These healthy falafels are perfectly warm, crispy, and moist on the inside.I love them in lettuce wraps, on a salad, or as a burger.

Baked Falafel Perfection!

Chickpeas are one of nature’s wonder foods. Also called garbanzo beans, one cup contains 15 grams of protein. They’re also high in fiber and folate (great for the pregger ladies out there!)
